It was going to be the "flagship" car and all Ford cars were going to have that grille, hence why the 05+ Focus grille bares a striking resembelance. But since the Fivehundred flopped and the Fusion is flying off the lots now, the Fusion is the "new face of Ford vehicles". Or am I wrong here?

I thought I read something about that.. how Ford was trying to mimick the "european styling" trends and make the Five Hundred look too much like a VW or Audi, and it flopped for them. So they decided to go after "american muscular styling" and made the Fusion, Edge, etc.. Personally I like the look of the Fusion a lot better than the Passat-wannabe Five Hundred.
